Who is the Cleveland Guardians probable starting pitcher?

Looking to start off their series in Washington on a good note, the Cleveland Guardians will have Luis Ortiz take the mound for Monday's matchup with the Nationals.

Ortiz will be looking to build upon his last start, which saw him pitch 6.1 innings of shutout baseball against the Minnesota Twins. This was one of the better starts for Ortiz this season and may have been the perfect tuneup before facing a superior Washington Nationals lineup.

As a team, Washington is 9-30 against Ortiz, with Josh Bell and Dylan Crews each homering off of the former Pittsburgh Pirate. Ortiz must limit walks and extra-base hits if the Guardians are going to win their third straight game.

Who will the Cleveland Guardians lineup face?

Jake Irvin gets the nod for the Nationals, and no one can definitively say which version of him will show up on any given day. Prior to his last start, Irving allowed just three runs on 11 hits in 20.2 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Colorado Rockies, and New York Mets. Irvin was rocked in his last start, giving up six runs on eight hits in 6 innings during Washington's 7-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Ideally, the Guardians will see a continuation of Irvin's last performance rather than reverting to the player who kept the Pirates, Rockies, and Mets in check.

LF Steven Kwan, 2B Daniel Schneemann, 3B Jose Ramirez, DH Kyle Manzardo, 1B Carlos Santana, C Bo Naylor, SS Gabriel Arias, RF Nolan Jones, CF Angel Martinez
